Dancing with Stones: A Summer Day at Pobiti Kamani, Bulgaria
On a hot summer day, a group of tourists wandered into Pobiti Kamani, Bulgaria’s mystical Stone Forest. They expected quiet pillars, ancient silence, and maybe a cool selfie or two. What they didn’t expect was that the stones had… a sense of humor.
Yo was the first to notice. As she struck a dramatic pose for a photo, one of the taller stones seemed to lean just a little, as if nodding in approval. Yv laughed, “It’s copying you!” and threw in a goofy dance move. Suddenly, the stone behind her cast a shadow that looked suspiciously like it was doing the Macarena.
Petar, never one to back down, cranked up his phone’s speaker and blasted some music. To everyone’s shock, a circle of stones seemed to catch the rhythm, their shadows stretching and shrinking as if they were bouncing to the beat. It was as though millions of years of stillness had finally built up enough energy for a summer dance-off.
About Pobiti Kamani: this Stone Forest is a natural rock phenomenon located near Varna. Formed millions of years ago, the site is full of massive limestone columns, some reaching up to seven meters high. Legend says the stones are mystical, charged with powerful energy, making it one of Bulgaria’s most fascinating natural landmarks.
Legend says the stones of Pobiti Kamani hold powerful energy, but locals never mentioned it could be used for a silent disco with ancient rocks. By the end of the afternoon, the three friends were breathless, laughing, and half-convinced they’d just been out-danced by nature itself.
So if you ever visit Pobiti Kamani, bring water, sunscreen, and maybe your best dance moves—you never know when the stones will decide it’s party time.
